CPCB Orders Action Against Continental Petroleums for Waste Violations
Imagine a company that makes reprocessed oil.
They were not following the rules about how to handle their waste.
Inspectors found that they weren't taking care of the waste properly, storing it in the open, and polluting the groundwater.
The government is now making the company stop storing waste, fix the problems, and follow all the rules.
They have to clean up the mess and tell the authorities what they're doing to fix things.
If they don’t fix things, they will face further action.
CPCB found Continental Petroleums Limited mismanaging hazardous waste.
Violations included improper waste storage, non-functioning treatment plant, and groundwater contamination.
The company lacked valid consent for operations and used unapproved vehicles and fuel.
CPCB ordered the company to halt waste storage and any expansion until compliance.
The company must submit a plan within 30 days to rectify the violations.
